GETTING TO KNOW YOUR AGENDA
AGENDA SECTIONS
Consent Calendar items are routine items that are not expected to prompt discussion. All items are
considered for approval at the same time with one vote. Before the vote, there is no separate discussion of
these items unless a member of the City Council or staff removes the item from the Consent Calendar.
Public Comment provides an opportunity to address the City Council on any matter not listed on the agenda
that is within the jurisdiction of the City Council. Under the Brown Act, the City Council cannot take action on
matters not listed on the agenda.
Public Hearings are held on matters specifically required by law.
Action Items are items expected to cause discussion and/or action by the City Council but do not legally
require a public hearing.
Closed Session may only be attended by members of the City Council, support staff, legal counsel, and others
specified on the agenda. Closed session may be held in very limited circumstances as authorized by law.
CITY COUNCIL ACTIONS
Resolutions are formal expressions of opinion or intention of the City Council and are usually effective
immediately.
Ordinances are laws adopted by the City Council. Ordinances usually amend, repeal, or supplement the
Municipal Code; provide zoning specifications; or appropriate money for specific purposes. Most ordinances
require two hearings and go into effect 30 days after the final approval.
Proclamations are issued by the City to honor significant achievements by community members, highlight an
event, promote awareness of community issues, and recognize City employees.
